AI Summary
This bill amends Chapter 128 of the General Laws to promote, develop, and encourage the breeding of thoroughbred horses in the Commonwealth through the Massachusetts Thoroughbred Breeding Program. The bill outlines the process for providing cash prizes and incentives to breeders, owners of stallions, and owners of Massachusetts-bred and accredited horses that finish in the top five positions in pari-mutuel running horse races, both within and outside the Commonwealth. It sets eligibility requirements for Massachusetts-bred and accredited horses, and authorizes the Massachusetts Thoroughbred Breeders Association to pay foaling bonuses and to use up to 12% of the program's funds for advertising, marketing, promotion, and administration. The bill also requires an annual audit of the association's books by the state auditor.
